Oilfield Segmentation

The E&P value chain is made up of thousands of suppliers providing a range of products and services. The Oilfield Segmentation defines each market segment in detail including market dynamics.

We have sub-divided the market segmentation into three views:

All segments

This view includes all market segments, including onshore and offshore.

All Segments

Onshore Segments

This view includes only onshore market segments. Thus far, unconventional resources have largely been an onshore phenomenon only, so offshore market segments are not yet relevant.

Onshore Segments

Priority Unconventional Segments

We conducted an analysis of the degree of differentiation to which the product/service in a particular market segment requires unique technology, equipment, skills, and capabilities to deliver for an unconventional formation versus a conventional formation. The result of this was a prioritized subset of segments, which we have defined as “critical” for unconventional development, particularly compared to conventional resources.
